NEW CASTLE, Del. — When students at the Delaware Academy of Public Safety and Security wanted a fire engine for the New Castle-area charter high school they turned to the Internet.
Cadets of the 4-year-old school are more than a few thousands dollars from reaching their $5,000 goal, but they’re hopeful a crowdfunding effort on GoFundMe will get them there by June.
“The idea came from a brainstorming session with [the] Public Safety III Class,” said Jordan Williams, a junior at the school. “We were looking for trending ways to fundraise that may be well received as opposed to more traditional ways. It seemed that the GoFundMe Campaign was a safe and effective way to reach our goal.”
